On east side of state, haven’t seen nor heard any Snow Geese, yet. But, at lower Snake River Plain elevations, fields are thawing & winter wheat just showing. In those fields seeing lots of Canada Geese & steady numbers of Trumpeter Swans. Found one field this AM with hundreds of Canada Geese, 17 Trumpeter Swans & 15 Wild Turkey, just out into field, but staying close to some cottonwood trees. Recommend scanning open fields around Pingree & Springfield areas.

At our place, still getting daily Blue Jay visits (present since 10/21/18), a dozen Pine Siskins at a time & numerous American Goldfinches & House Finches. The last two, getting more colorful by the day.
